Hi all, In about a year of playing with FreeSWITCH, I really like it. Not only the software is great but also the community. As people keep asking me where can find some documentation in Chinese, I told them if they want to play in deep they need to know English better. However, the fact is, even one can read English without problem, he still prefer find some information in his native language first. So, I'd like to start a Chinese community hoping FreeSWITCH can get more popular in China. As we saw big telecom companies merged in the last year, I bet VoIP technology and application will go more and more faster in the near future... While FS official site has plenty of documentation, obviously we don't want to translate word by word. Then where should we start from? A forum? There was a big argue between a forum and mailing list in the last few weeks, and finally an English forum and an Italian one is out. While I can find server in China, the major pain is that running any kind of BBS in China mainland need to get some kind of permissions by the government first. Any idea, suggestion? Anyone want to help or cooperate about this? And, if I can get this runing, can I use the FreeSWITCH logo and www.freeswitch.org.cn ? Best regards, Seven.

I would start by finding as many people as possible who are literate in both English and Chinese and who are willing to help out. Once you have your group assembled you will have a better idea of what your goals should be. More people helping will make things easier to accomplish.

I am looking into creating a multi-language wiki at wiki.freeswitch.org. Anyone with experience in setting up multiple languages with MediaWiki software please contact me. So far we have people willing to help create documentation in French, Spanish, Portugese, Russian, and now Chinese. I think we have some Italians out there as well! (ciao bella) Please email me off list if you are in a position to assist with the wiki and languages other than English.
And, if I can get this runing, can I use the FreeSWITCH logo and www.freeswitch.org.cn ?
Please direct questions about the FreeSWITCH logo and domain names to consulting@freeswitch.org. FreeSWITCH and the logo are trademarks so it would be best to get permission from Anthony before doing anything. -MC

How's the plan of a multi-language wiki? I think mediaWiKi do support multi-language. So, maybe we can start from wiki.freeswitch.org/zh_CN/ or some structure else. While it is possible to follow the change log of the EN wiki to change Chinese version accordingly, it would be challenge to make sure the consistency. And regardlessly what if Chinese version change first? I'd like to help with this. But I cannot translate all hundreds of pages and make it consistency by my self. But I'm pretty sure that we would get a group of ppl to do this. So the start maybe either translate some key pages and make the consistency, or translate as much pages ... Email me off list on how to start this. :)

How about we all work together and work on the FreeSWITCH.org infrastructure instead of spreading the resources thinner and thinner till nobody is doing really much of anything. We need people to step up and help out with the website, wiki, jira, irc, testing and various other things that currently are spread thin. ;) Please!!! I'm not asking everyone to step up and code in C... /b On Mar 24, 2009, at 1:32 PM, Mitul Limbani wrote:

I agree with this and would like to work with the wiki.freeswitch.org on the EN and CN language part. However, I don't think we can maintain a Chinese version of IRC, seems still we need a Chinese BBS.

Someone tried to do a spanish IRC channel it doesn't have anyone in it but me most of the time... hrm...... I'm not trying to discount anything here but it seems language specific anything seems to not take off. We need more cheerleaders.... btw cluecon is coming up.... remember to register early! ;)

What do you want to be involved in? #freeswitch-web is the correct channel to be in if you want to help out on IRC. ;)
